Chapter 521: Chapter 507: The Courage Test Festival! Aqua Cries in Absolute Terror!

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"AQUA-SENPAI—!!!"

In that familiar temple that Kazuma knew all too well, Goddess Eris sat paralyzed on the ground, her hands covering her face as heart-wrenching screams escaped through her fingers.

Why can’t you keep your mouth shut even when you go to other worlds! It’s one thing to talk about it—it’s not like it’s the first time anyway—but please don’t describe it in such detail!

Ever since that video played last time, every time she received those dead adventurers, she noticed they were all intentionally or unintentionally glancing at her chest!

So, she had taken a huge risk to bypass the rules of the Divine Realm, using a little divine power to make the populace forget about it. Now look at this... It’s all muda da—all that effort for nothing!

〜That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World〜

Rimuru shook his head gently and let out a silent sigh:

"Goddess Eris is gentle and cute, so stop persecuting that kind goddess all the time!"

Seeing how ’good’ Aqua was with words, he began to suspect that Aqua didn’t have any friends in Heaven! She just kept bullying this one junior.

Ranga raised his head:

"If Goddess Eris went to that other world too, she would definitely have common topics with Shalltear."

Rimuru looked at Ranga, instantly speechless:

"You aren’t letting her off the hook either..."

Shion, standing to the side, felt a bit amazed:

"A pure succubus? Is this the legendary disgrace of the succubi?"

Yare yare, a succubus who lives by charming men, actually managing to stay pure? That is absolutely a ninety-nine percent rarity!

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

"Wait!"

Ristarte hurriedly extended an ’Erkang hand’, revealing a hilarious expression:

"That kind of righteous speech, sounding as if it embraces all creation... is that something that useless goddess could say 100%?"

Fake, it must be fake! How could that useless goddess ever have such a serious moment? For a split second, Ristarte, a fellow goddess, felt like she had been outshone.

Seeing signs that this useless goddess before him was about to go crazy, Seiya, being cautious, spoke up to explain:

"What she said is just the doctrine of the Axis Cult."

"Now that you mention it, it seems so!"

Ristarte instantly stopped her fit, speaking in a somewhat blank tone.

She almost forgot. That perverted cult, the Axis Cult, accepts any form of love, even interspecies romance. The only thing they don’t accept is devils...

But obviously, Albedo, this pure succubus, was not counted among the devil category by the idiot goddess!

.....

[ An extremely furious Shalltear was about to charge forward on the spot, but was hugged from behind by Albedo, who teased with a gloating tone: "That won’t do, Shalltear. You cannot disobey Ainz-sama’s orders!"

Aqua looked at Shalltear, who wanted to rush at her, and gave her a confused look. What did that mean?

Kazuma spoke up silently: "Probably, you hurt her feelings without realizing it."

Meanwhile, on the other side, an uncle with a mohawk, wearing armor with two pink suspenders, was standing at the cashier’s position: "With so many men and women gathering at the seaside, it is impossible for nothing to happen."

"Hurry up and pay!" First Lieutenant Grantz looked speechlessly at the uncle before him, who was spouting profound nonsense. I’m just here to pay the bill. ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Good lord, isn’t that the Hell Bro? Why are you here too!?"

Looking at this acquaintance who couldn’t be any more familiar, the eyes of the crowd outside the video nearly popped out. You’re just an ordinary textile worker; isn’t your presence a bit too strong?!

Why are you everywhere? If you said you had some hidden class, we’d believe it!

.....

〜Sword Art Online World〜

Looking at Shalltear clamoring to slaughter Aqua, Kirito shook his head thoughtfully:

"To be honest, even if Albedo hadn’t stopped her, I don’t think Shalltear could necessarily cause any damage to Aqua."

She can’t win, forget it! Just endure it. If she provokes that brain-damaged goddess, it’ll be over. Aqua has no sense of restraint when she strikes.

There’s no helping it; from the previous videos, they already knew just how bugged Aqua is!

Although she always acts cowardly and timid, and often puts on the airs of a goddess, giving people the illusion that she isn’t a goddess at all.

But the one undeniable point is that from start to finish, no one has ever seen Aqua lose HP. They haven’t even seen a scratch, or rather, she doesn’t even seem to have an HP bar.

.....

[ Then the scene shifted to the summer beach. Everywhere there were beautiful girls in swimsuits, forming a lovely scenic line.

Meanwhile, in the nearby bushes, Kazuma was hiding, secretly enjoying the beautiful view before him.

"Using the Lurk skill to peep... there’s nothing more..." Kazuma confidently set a flag for himself. This was simply heaven for him!

"What are you doing?" Demiurge looked at the man hiding wretchedly in the bushes, then activated a skill without another word.

"FLASH—!" A dazzling myriad of lights shone from Demiurge’s body.

Kazuma immediately covered his eyes in pain, wailing: "My eyes! My eyes!"

After recovering, Kazuma looked at Tanya and Demiurge standing before him and unleashed a torrent of complaints: "I was just looking at swimsuits, was it necessary to blind my eyes?!"

But neither Tanya nor Demiurge paid him any mind; instead, they began exchanging business compliments on the side. ]

[ .....]

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜

Watching this scene, Kuroko slapped her forehead with a headache:

"I said they shouldn’t let Kazuma be a Judgment officer!"

As a Judgment officer, Kazuma actually used the Lurk skill just to peep! If he can’t even control himself, how can we expect him to control anyone else?

I said it long ago: Kazuma is the biggest disciplinary problem in this class!

Meanwhile, in Kamijou Touma’s home, Mr. Kamijou discovered a very critical issue:

"Isn’t this the seaside? Why did Kazuma have to hide to peep?"

Those girls weren’t bathing or changing clothes... what was he peeping at?! I figure if you just walked out openly, no one would say anything about you, right?

.....

[ After playing around on the beach for a while, it soon became time for the night’s Test of Courage, and the groups were decided by drawing lots!

Aqua happened to be grouped with three reincarnators: Subaru Natsuki, Ainz, and Tanya.

Halfway through, Aqua suddenly turned around: "You guys are from Earth, right?"

Subaru Natsuki was visibly shocked: "Why do you know that?"

Aqua: "Of course, I know. Kazuma is also from Earth, and I was the one who sent him to his previous world."

"That’s right, I am a Goddess!"

"You are..." Tanya instantly entered a state of rage. Accompanied by lightning and thunder in the sky, the entire ground began to shake: "BEING X—!!"

This sudden situation scared Aqua so much that she was about to cry: "Wait, what’s happening? So scary!"

"Scary?!" Tanya stared at Aqua with a ferocious gaze: "The dignified Being X is actually acting so shamefully!"

Seeing Aqua’s terrified appearance, Subaru Natsuki quickly blocked the front: "The one who angered you probably isn’t her."

Ainz agreed with Subaru’s point and pointed at Aqua, who was hiding behind Subaru: "Do you really think the god who sent you to that world would be the same person as her?"

Tanya looked at Aqua, who was trembling all over with tears swirling in her eyes. Her entire being screamed weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Tanya instantly calmed down: "Indeed, completely different..."

Seeing Tanya calm down, Aqua didn’t understand why the other party had reacted so intensely: "But I said it before, I’ve been saying I’m a goddess all along!"

"Eh?!" Everyone present was instantly dumbfounded. Because based on her previous behavior, she really didn’t seem like one, so they had all ignored it. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahahaha, as expected of the brain-dead goddess who looks least like a goddess. Daily routine: claim to be a goddess, get ignored!"

"Truly worthy of a Test of Courage. This little girl is fierce; look at how badly she scared the goddess!"

Everyone watched Aqua, who was trembling and hiding behind Subaru Natsuki, but they weren’t too worried. After all, everyone was used to her ability to draw aggro.

This goddess is buggy, sure—she can resurrect unconditionally—but she’s also truly cowardly. A giant frog is enough to make her run around in panic.

.....

〜OVERLORD World〜

"Fight! HURRY UP AND FIGHT—ARINSU!!"

Shalltear waved her arms excitedly. She was still holding a grudge about the chest padding incident earlier and wished she could beat Aqua until her teeth scattered on the floor.

In response, Ainz sighed:

"Shalltear, that goddess acts weak and helpless, and somewhat brain-damaged... but to be honest, you might not necessarily win."

If you underestimate her just because you care about her purification magic countering the undead, you are gravely mistaken!

Don’t forget, Aqua’s true essence is the Goddess of Water, and an Elemental God at that! She is very likely an existence at the level of a Primordial God. That flood was no joke.

She might not be able to beat a frog, and she might not be able to beat a slime, but aside from that time with the Dullahan, no one has seen her use a water-related skill!

And most importantly, this goddess is a true god. She has absolutely no concept of death; no one has ever seen her show a health bar!
